"Cool," said Megan, looking uneasily at Thor.

Thor officially Glared at his brother, pulling Megan ever-so-slightly behind him.
"Just point us on our way to Mother, will you?

"Oh, she's probably in the nursery with our brothers," Loki said quickly. "Anyway, that was almost a year ago and I feel very poorly about it-"

"Whatever, Loki."
He guided Megan briskly away and down the hall.

Megan looked back at Loki as Thor shuffled her along.
"I didn't know that part- oh God, all this time I thought he was hitting on me before he met Teja and fell for her!"

"He hates Veidt because Veidt meant to use that friend of yours, Micaela-" said Thor, incredulously.

"God, maybe he was hitting on me," she said, staring into the middle distance. "He was apparently pretty big on making Teja the queen and chief deputy of that whole new world order thing-"

"Do you think that means he only fell for her because she had no other use for him?" asked Thor, brow creasing. He knew his brother had come around since then, but it was a sobering reminder of how recent, and shaky, the foundation of his redemption was.

"She was, uh, pretty into it, as far as I remember, so I don't think he was using her. I think it was more, um, a team effort."
She grimaced.
"Please don't think less of Teja for it- I think she just felt so powerless all the time that marrying some kind of god-prince and whispering to him about redistributing wealth sounded pretty attractive, and like... I get that. I mean, I saw her and Adrian talking with Loki right there and the two of them constantly reminding him to be more subtle about influencing people- between the two of them, Adrian and Teja practically rule him."

"It is a wonder he hates Veidt, and yet loves his wife so devotedly."

"Probably because I don't think Adrian told Micaela why he took her in," Megan guessed. "When Adrian tells him what to do, it's all 'wear this, don't say that, do this with your hair, have you ever considered not looking like a cokehead?' But Teja- she's more like..."
Megan cupped Thor's face in her hands and gazed dreamily at him.
"My god," she said, in the most achingly tender tone she could pull off. "My king. You'll show them all, won't you?"
She held the gaze a moment longer and then released him.
"You know, like that. That painting would be a lot more accurate with her on the throne and him resting his head in her lap."

Thor rubbed his face for a moment, feeling oddly sheepish.
"You should propose that version."

"He'd kill me," she laughed.

Thor laughed. "He wouldn't dare. Besides, you are probably right."
